I've heard of people having that problem with the registration switch. It actually sets two keys in the registry under your software classes; the command line is probably what you are having problems with. In the registry the location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config\Shell\open\command The default value under that SHOULD be something like this: "c:\bin\vncviewer.exe" -config "%1" Here's the export from my registry; be sure to change the path and use doubled "\\" marks in it if you use this, of course. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config\Shell\open\command ] @="\"c:\\bin\\vncviewer.exe\" -config \"%1\"" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe O'Bremski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday/2002 February 01 12:40 Subject: RE: Multiple VNC Windows : Kept getting an error in windows that stated that an "Invalid VNC server : specified" but using in a batch file: : : start vncviewer /config server.vnc : : worked out perfectly, Thanks! : : -----Original Message----- : From: Alex Angelopoulos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] : Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 9:17 AM : To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Subject: Re: Multiple VNC Windows : : : You should be able to register the VNCViewer as the application to use : for opening .vnc files by runing it with the switch "-register". : : Make sure you have VNCViewer in it's "permanent" location of course; : Windows will save the path in the registry for use when opening the VNC : files.
